Not a fan of math? No problem! I'll take you through the formula step by step, line by line, weird letter by weird letter. This is meant to be as accessible as possible, whether you've been sewing for years or just starting out.

This video was a LONG time coming! My patron Stacey gifted me Prior Attire's book the Victorian Dressmaker quite a while back. I had my viewers vote on which gown I should try to recreate at half-scale. They chose this beautiful ballgown and, as you'll hear in the video, that particular gown was very important to me. Well, a baby, a career change, commissions, collaborations, and multiple tax seasons later, I'm finally able to share how I recreated this 1884 Victorian Ballgown!
I worked on my voiceover script as I went along so I kept that intact. This video spans two years. The entire project spanned three years. I think it's important to show that these projects don't always get done quickly. Some dresses take 24 hours. Some dresses take three years. Sometimes, the dress is based on the same inspiration. Real life gets in the way, and that's okay. It happens. The important thing is that we have fun and are kind to ourselves.
Thank you all for your patience!

Anyway! The trouble was what dress do I make? Given that I had a limited budget that wouldn't ever allow for brocade or velvet, Danielle's Work Dress was the obvious choice. This dress is simpler than the other court-worthy gowns in the movie, but that doesn't mean it isn't lovely in its own right!
Follow along with me as I make Danielle's Work Dress from Ever After!

This one was a particular joy. Not only is Meg my favorite March sister, but it was an absolute joy to bring the March Sisters to life with Marie, Dixie, and Elise. Marie and I came up with this idea over a year and a half ago and it's so gratifying to know it actually came together! Thank you to my patrons and my "sisters" for making this video possible.

Both images of maternity stays shown at the beginning of my video were found on Pinterest without a proper source cited. It might not have been the best idea to take inspiration from images that could have limited basis in history, but I was going for function over accuracy.

The commission is almost over! In this video, I'm finishing the 1910s blouse, skirt, and hat as well as a sash. The design does change a few times, but I think that's one of the exciting things about sewing; it's can be an ever-changing process. Sometimes you might have an idea pretty solidly in your mind's eye, but then you realize a different direction is better.

While I was making my Year in Review Video, I thought some viewers might be curious about which video performed best. Then I thought they might be curious about how much I made. Then I thought they might be curious about how much individual videos make. By the time I made a list of things I wanted to mention, I realized it might be best to make a separate video rather than make a forty minute video. So, this is that video. I hope you enjoy it!

While on an American Girl Doll eBay nostalgia scroll, I happened to find the original Pleasant Company doll dress patterns from the 90s for Samantha Parkington! How could I resist? I decided to try to make the cranberry party dress from Samantha's Surprise, with all of the sewing being in a single day.

Well, I did it again. I waited too long to start my Halloween costume. Well, our costumes. We're being Mary Poppins and Bert in their Jolly Holiday outfits with our six-month-old son as a baby penguin. Thanks to a commission, I have a very short time to get these costumes done. Yes, costumes, with an -s, because this year I'm also pulling together a costume for my husband so we can have our first Family costume as a family of three. Can I pull this off without losing my mind? Find out!

I had previously painted an It's a Small World-inspired mural on the wall. From geometric curtains to a colorful quilt, we were able to mirror the mural while an area rug matched the colors perfectly. I found wonderful vintage ride posters on Etsy which led to mid-century modern influences on the crib, dresser, and bookcase. I made a mobile with origami birds to reference the Enchanted Tiki Room. Some IKEA wall lights became the Up house floating away. (Right after we got engaged, we were walking along a deserted, rain-soaked Main Street when Married Life came on over the speakers. The timing was magical!) Finally, gifts from our family and friends decorated the rest of the room.
I'm so pleased with how this room turned out. It's so rare that things turn out exactly how you imagine and I'm so glad this was one of those times!

As always, when starting a new era, in order to get that perfect silhouette, you need to start from the skin and work your way out. I decided to see if I could get that Edwardian silhouette while using a base of Victorian Undergarments. It involved making a corset cover, hip padding, and a new petticoat. I meant to get this project done in a few days, but a new arrival threw me wildly off course!

ko-fi.com/hattohem In 2018, my husband and I went on a short tour of Canada for our honeymoon. We visited Quebec City, Halifax, Cape Breton, and, the whole reason we even thought of the trip, Prince Edward Island. We're big fans of all things Anne Shirley, from the books to the movies to the Netflix series. It was just our anniversary, so I thought you might be interested in a tour of the real-life Green Gables.
Inspired by Lucy Maud Montgomery's classic book series, Green Gables has been lovingly recreated in Cavendish, the town that inspired Avonlea. After walking through the Haunted Forest (just like Anne and Diana Barry) from the L.M. Montgomery's Cavendish National Historic Site, the Cuthbert's charming house sits on a hill between the barn and Lover's Lane.
Details from Anne of Green Gables are placed throughout the home. Were you able to spot:
-Anne's Beloved Puffed Sleeved Dress
-The carpet bag Anne brought with her on the train to Green Gables
-The slate she broke over Gilbert Blythe's head
-Marilla's amethyst brooch
-Matthew's hat and cane
-The raspberry cordial
Let me know in the comments if you spotted any other details! And let me know if you'd be interested in a video where I talk about Anne's Puffed Sleeved Dress and possibly try to recreate it!
Thank you for indulging me in my trip down memory lane! We should be back to sewing content in my next video!
